7．Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table，reading his book．His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could．
One day the grandson asked，"Grandpa，I try to read the book just like you，but I don't understand it，and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book．What good does reading the book do？"
The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied，"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water．"
The boy did as he was told，but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house．The grandpa laughed and said，"You'll have to move a little faster next time，"and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again．
This time the boy ran faster，but again the basket was empty before he returned．Out of breath，he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket，so he went to get a bucket instead．
The grandpa said，"I don't want a bucket of water； I want a basket of water．You're just not trying hard enough．"
The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard，but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again．Out of breath，he said，"Grandpa，it's useless!"
"So，you think it is useless？"the grandpa said，"Look at the basket．"
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different．It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean．
"Grandson，that's what happens when you read the book．You might not understand or remember everything，but when you read it，you'll be changed，inside and out．"

21．What puzzled the grandson most wasB．
A．why he forgot what he read soon
B．whether it was useful to read books
C．what kind of book he could understand
D．how he could read books like his grandpa
22．Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of water？A
A．To get him to realize the use of reading books．
B．To punish him for not reading carefully．
C．To clean the dirty basket in the river．
D．To train him to run faster．
23．What lesson can we learn from the story？D
A．The old are always wiser than the young．
B．It is foolish to carry water with a basket．
C．You can't expect to remember all you read．
D．Reading books can change a person gradually．
24．What can be the best title for the text？D
A．Grandpa and grandson
B．Carrying water in a basket
C．Baskets and books
D．Reading for total changing．

分析 文章通過籃子打水的事，說明了讀書可以改變一個人的內(nèi)涵和外在．

解答 21．B細節(jié)題．由第二段最后一句"What good does reading the book do？"可知，男孩不明白讀書有什么好處，所以B項符合題意．故正確答案為B．
22．A推斷題．男孩一開始不知道讀書有沒有用，于是爺爺讓他用一個臟兮兮的籃子打水．籃子雖然盛不了一滴水，卻在打水的過程中被洗刷得干干凈凈．最后爺爺對男孩說："Grandson，that's what happens when you read the book．You might not understand or remember everything，but when you read it，you'll be changed，inside and out．"，這番話讓他明白了讀書有用，所以D項符合題意．故正確答案為A．
23．D主旨題．文章通過籃子打水的事，說明了讀書可以改變一個人的內(nèi)涵和外在．由最后一段"Grandson，that's what happens when you read the book．You might not understand or remember everything，but when you read it，you'll be changed，inside and out．"可知，D項符合題意．故正確答案為D．
24．D主旨題．文章通過籃子打水的事，說明了讀書可以改變一個人的內(nèi)涵和外在．由最后一句話"You might not understand or remember everything，but when you read it，you'll be changed，inside and out．"孩子，這就是你讀書時發(fā)生的事．你可能不能理解或者記住所有的東西，但是在你讀的時候，你會改變，由內(nèi)至外．"故選D．

點評 在閱讀時要抓住文章的主題和細節(jié)，分析文章結(jié)構(gòu)，根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，挖掘文章的深層含義，對于暗含在文章中的人物的行為動機，事件中的因果關(guān)系及作者未言明的傾向、意圖、態(tài)度、觀點等要進行合乎邏輯的判斷、推理、分析，進一步增強理解能力，抓住材料實質(zhì)性的東西．

18．If you know exactly what you want，the best way to get a job is to get specialized training．A recent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training．
That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers．At Cornell's School of Hotel Administration，for example，bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement．Large companies，especially，like a background of formal education coupled with work experience．But in the long run，too much specialization doesn't pay off．Business，which has been flooded with MBAs，no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval．The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially，but   the effect of a degree washes out after five years．
As further evidence of companies gradually losing faith in specialized degrees，Michigan State's Scheetz mentions a pattern in hiring practices．Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires，they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management．"They want someone who isn't constrained（限制）by details to look at the big picture，"says  Scheetz．This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts （文科）graduates．Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have：writing and communication skills，organizational skills，open-mindedness and adaptability，and the ability to analyze and solve problems．David Birch，manager of the Boston Red Sox，claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree，"I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things，"says Birch．
For a liberal-arts degree，students focus on some basic courses that include literature，history，mathematics，economics，science，human behavior-plus a computer course or two．With these useful and important courses，you can feel free to specialize，"A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace，"says Scheetz．

61．What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market？C
A．Students with a bachelor's degree in humanities．
B．People with an MBA degree from top universities．
C．People with formal schooling plus work experience．
D．People with special training in engineering
62．By saying"…but the effect of a degree washes out after five years"（Para 2），the author meansB．
A．most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation
B．a(chǎn)n MBA degree does not help in the future promotion
C．MBA programs will not be as popular in five years'time as they are now
D．people will not forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got
63．According to Scheetz's statement （ Para.3），companies prefer people whoA．
A．have a strategic mind 
B．a(chǎn)re talented in fine arts
C．a(chǎn)re ambitious and aggressive
D．have received training in mechanics
64．David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because theyA．
A．a(chǎn)re more capable of handling changing situations
B．can stick to established ways of solving problems
C．a(chǎn)re thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fields
D．have attended special programs in management
65．Which of the following statements does the author support？D
A．Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists．
B．Formal schooling is less important than job training．
C．On-the-job training is，in the long run，less costly．
D．Generalists will do better than specialists in management．

2．Recently，university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged．It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours．
Unplugged is being run by Dr．Roman Gerodimos，a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University．During the experiment，Dr．Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers．He said："They're reporting withdrawal symptoms，overeating，feeling nervous，isolated and disconnected．"
During their 24-hour test，three of the experiment's participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman．They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline，but of course，they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops．
Elliot Day wrote："Today，my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air．Despite being aware of the social importance of the media，I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers．"
From Caroline Scott，we read："I didn't expect it，but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn't break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to，but It's not something I would like to do again！"
And Charlotte Gay wrote："I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been  my mobile；not only is it a social device，it's my main access point of communication．"
Earlier in the year，a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media，often plugged into several things at once．So，with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate，how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future？
71．What can we learn about the volunteers？B
A．Volunteers didn't write down about their day offline．
B．Volunteers weren't allowed to use any media for 24 hours．
C．Volunteers were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos．
D．Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment．
72．Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants'feelings？D
A．Anxious．     B．Lonely         C．Bored．            D．Despaired．
73．Which of the following is true of Caroline Scott？C
A．The media ban affected his temperature．
B．His work went on smoothly without the media．
C．His work was carried on hard without the media．
D．His life was empty without the radio or newspapers．
74．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？A
A．People should use the media devices reasonably．
B．People can easily survive the media devices addict．
C．People can spend more time sleeping in the future．
D．People spend about half the time using the media devices．
75．The text is most probably aC．
A．newspaper ad

12．It's not often you get information about a destination from a heavy metal band，but in Debrecen，Hungary's second largest city，locals are used to having to make a noise to get heard．
Just off the historic center，Roncs bar is a pub that also hosts live music．It has the atmosphere of a student party in an old building that might soon be knocked down．
Roncs is owned by Hungary's best-known heavy metal rock band，Tankcsapda．Sometimes referred to as the"Hungarian Metallica"，the band has taken a type of music that is famous worldwide and---through lyrics，album covers，and an annual New Year's party and concert---made it all about their home city．
It's perhaps fitting that Tankcsapda should be seen as ambassadors for Debrecen---the city sometimes needs loud heavy metal rock music to get noticed．"Foreigners think that Hungary is Budapest and there's nothing else，"is a familiar saying on Debrecen's streets．
Debrecen has，at times，been more important than the current seat of power，with locals claiming it takes over in times of trouble．
That doesn't quite add up．
Debrecen survived an attack from the Mongols in the 13th century，the Black Death，150years of struggle against the Ottomans and numerous conflicts，and yet it has still only briefly been the country's capital twice．This happened for the first time after a short-lived revolution in 1849，and for a second time at the end of World War II．
Today，Debrecen may not be well known to tourists，but that only adds to the charm of this relaxed city．It's a small place； the historical center is sized for strolling （散步） and regular cafe stops．There's also a view of Debrecen's mix of architectural styles，a result of the frequent large fires that back in the 19th century led the city's students to form one of Europe's first-ever fire brigades （消防隊）．
You can also see traditional  weathercocks from the rooftops，featuring Islamic star and crescent moon symbols that once advertised to Ottoman invaders that the city preferred trading to fighting．
Trade meant that Debrecen's skilled people became very successful and the city became famous for---among other things---fine foods，hats and clay pipes．In the early 19th century，10million clay pipes were reportedly made a year，with thousands bought for Britain's navy．

28．What do Debrecen citizens expect Tankcsapda to do？C
A．Introduce heavy metal music to Hungary．
B．Create a unique type of heavy metal music．
C．Try to make Debrecen known with its music．
D．Hold parties featuring live heavy metal music shows．
29．Why are locals used to having to make a noise to get heard？D
A．Because they feel their city is too quiet and relaxed．
B．Because all kinds of music bars bring their city alive．
C．Because they think it helps create a powerful image of their city．
D．Because they dislike it that the world only knows Budapest in Hungary．
30．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word？A
A．Styles．
B．Climate．
C．Atmosphere．
D．Conditions．
31．What is the key message the author wants to deliver in this passage？A
A．Debrecen is a place which is worth visiting．
B．Debrecen actually is more important than Budapest．
C．Debrecen citizens are proud of their culture and history．
D．Debrecen citizens love music and create their unique culture．

9．Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children's careers．Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men or women？For many children it means starting schoolwork very young，and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place．It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day，even at the weekend，when most of his or her friends are playing．
       Another problem is of course money．In many countries money for training is available from government for the best young sportsmen and sportswomen．If this help can not be given，it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child's development and sports clothes，transport to competitions，special equipment，etc．All can be expensive．
       Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age．Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed．Professional trainers，however，believe that it is only by training young when young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person．It is clear that very few people do reach the top，and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training．
49．Where can we most probably find this passage？C
A．An advertisement
B．A diary．
C．A newspaper
D．A notice board．
50．What does the underlined phrase"to take a second place"in the first paragraph mean？A
A．To become less important．
B．To put it at another place．
C．To happen again．
D．They are the most important of all the things．
51．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？C
A．It's easy to make a decision when your children want to take up sports．
B．Most of the students may become top sports men after a long period of training．
C．Early training may damage young muscles
D．It's not very expensive for parents to support their children's development in sports．
